✧ Lauren’s Booking Process ✧

✧ Hayley’s booking Process ✧

Please take a moment to thoroughly read through your individual artist’s booking process (above) as well as our Pre-Care Instructions. We are cash preferred for the time being but also process credit cards if needed.

Deposits will come off of the tattoo total the day if your appointment. Deposits are transferable to a rescheduled appointment only if rescheduled with more than 48 hour notice.

Deposits will be forfeited in the case of:

- Rescheduling within 48 hours of your appointment

- Not showing up to your appointment

- Showing up 30+ minutes late

- Rescheduling more than twice (you will need to put down a new deposit if rescheduling a 3rd time)

If your deposit is forfeited for any of the reasons above, the deposit is then kept as a payment for the artist's consultation, correspondence, scheduling, set up and drawing time. We understand that emergencies happen but we will likely not schedule you in the future if you no-call, no-show your appointment. Thank you for understanding!

Each artist has their own hourly rate and way in which they charge. Please email your artist directly for rates!

There are so many risk factors when working with numbing cream so please consult the artist working on your piece to see if they’re comfortable with working with it. Most artists have specific brands they are comfortable working with. If you come in numbed and don’t speak with your artist prior, there is a chance they could have to send you home on appointment day, resulting in a lost deposit.

Please see our aftercare page here.

For the time being, Take Heart is appointment only.

But follow our artists on social media for last minute openings and availabilities.

As each of our artists work best in different ways, some may require consultations, some may not. If you feel more comfortable having a consult before booking, please ask your artist to set up a consultation.

More often than not, no.

We do not send drawings online, text or email whatsoever. We allow for time at the beginning of your appointment to make changes to your drawing (within reason). Any redrawing over 30+ minutes could potentially require a reschedule. So please be as clear and communicative as possible in your booking form so we can avoid rescheduling.

We certainly do! Please fill out the guest artist form here.
